About this course

Stock photography pays per download, not per shoot, so income comes from volume, discoverability, and demand-matching rather than from any single great photo. This course treats stock as a business: how the marketplaces rank and pay, which commercial and editorial subjects sell, how to write titles and the keywords that surface a file in search, and how to push one shoot across multiple agencies without breaking exclusivity rules. You will work through model and property releases, decode rejection reasons, and learn the portfolio-size and consistency math that turns a few dollars a month into a meaningful passive stream.
